Eddie Van Halen's ~ "Frankenstrat" ~ pictured with 22 fret Kramer neck. Eddie created this Stratocaster himself, it was produced by Fender Musical Instruments. A replica of the "Frankenstrat" is currently housed in the American History Museum in Washington, D.C. Wow, this reads like a documentary! Oh, what the hell, it's one monster of a guitar! gl
